Screenshot from the movie Un Chien Andalou (Luis Bunuel, 1929).
Un Chien Andalou consists of seventeen minutes of bizarre and surreal images that may or may not mean anything. In this scene the French phrase "ants in the palms," which means that someone is "itching" to kill is shown literally.

SOMEDAY-performed by FlipSyde

Flipsyde is a Rap/R&B band from Oakland, California. Flipsyde consists of band members Steve Knight, Dave Lopez, Jinho "Piper" Ferreira. They have toured extensively with Fort Minor, The Black Eyed Peas, Snoop Dogg and on the Anger Management Tour. Flipsyde's single, "Someday" was chosen as NBC's theme song for the 2006 Winter Olympic Games held in Torino, Italy. They love to tour India and have already performed there twice and may be planning a third trip in 2007. They are currently working on a second album in San Jose, CA. (wikipedia, 2006)
Flipsyde's music is an unconventional, yet harmonious mix of styles. The top and bottom of their innovative sound is straight-up Hip Hop while the middle punches with Rock. This four man band came together in the Bay Area of California culminating sounds from around the world.

Model: DUNGISM
Photographer: T. C. Nguyen
Same way of taking photo but this one is shot from a closer distance to give a bigger view of the model's curves.

Model: DUNGISM

Just put the camera against the window and I got this photo. Dung's pose was flexible, tender against the hardened, concrete window railings. Such composition plus the colors are almost black and white created a big contrast for the photo.

Model: Nguyen Huynh
Photographer: T. C. Nguyen
I took this photo in the Bowen Room with all the lights turned off. The background was created by a Windows Media Player Visualization and showed up on the wall through a projector.
The model's body features was darken and made blurry to emphasize her outer curves and shape.
Unlike any photo, it's hard to tell which one is the distinguish component in this photo, the model or the background. Maybe they just cooporate, supplement each other to create a sense of harmonious .

Here, the same formula with the previous photo but different background. The photo's contrast is pretty clear since the background is brighter and more dazzling.

This is the same design from the "orange" Bossini advertising panel. I changed the color to create a different mood of something cooler, more gentle and more flexible. Again, all the colors are blue but different SATURATION values.

I was inspired by the BOSINI fashion advertising panel to create this. The font in use is Alba. All the colors of the texts are sharing the same values of RGB, HUE and BRIGHTNESS. They are only various in the SATURATION values.
Plus, the texts are set size differently and placed randomly to create a sense of mess but relaxing and freely but also hot and tough .

Another Collage artwork created by me. The picture is generated by 4 layers on top of each other. They are all in the same style: mechanical, complicated by the composition of many details.

Digital Collage artwork by BonusBall King (www.bonusballking.com). Exotic, creepy, stylish in its design by the use of colors, typeface and graphics.
